Zonta Club of Cleveland.

The Zonta Club of Cleveland was organized in 1921 in Cleveland, Ohio, as an affiliate of the Confederation of Zonta Clubs (renamed Zonta International in 1930). The club was designed as a classified service organization of business executive and professional women who, as leaders in their community, would devote themselves to civic and social welfare. The board of directors and the membership met regularly in area restaurants to discuss common concerns and pursue community projects, particularly aid to area hospitals and camps for the disabled. By 1931, the club had flourished to the point where it was able to host the spring Zonta International Convention at the Hotel Cleveland. The club continued to grow to a membership of 100 in 1979 with service projects benefitting the Amelia Earhart Scholarships for women studying aerospace sciences, college scholarship aid, Vocational Information Programs for Inner City Youth, Camp Ho-Mita-Koda for disabled children, and aid to Golden Agers.
